Portuguese defender Ruben Dias will be the captain of Manchester City this season, according to the English team's coach, Enzo Maresca. This promotion places Dias as the leader in the Citizens' dressing room for the new season.

The announcement was made by Italian coach Enzo Maresca, who manages the Manchester City team in the English football league. Dias, who was already one of the most experienced and respected players in the squad, thus receives the captain's armband.

The Portuguese defender joined Manchester City in 2020 from Benfica, and since then has become a central figure in the team's defense. His defensive consistency and leadership on the field weighed heavily in Maresca's decision to promote him to captain.
